Information on Lucerne

Lucerne is located in the heart of Switzerland on the Lake of Lucerne admired for its beauty and tranquillity. Nostalgic paddle wheel steamers connect the romantic town to many piers of charming sites. From there you may ascend Mount Rigi or Mount Pilatus, or reach the high regions of Switzerland. Cogwheel mountain trains, cable cars or aerial tramways take you past alpine scenery to breath-taking panoramic views of the Swiss Alps.
 
Lucerne itself is built on both banks of "Lake of Lucerne"and the "Reuss River", outflow of the lake. The medieval part is closest to the waterfront. Both banks are connected by the famous wooden "Kapellbrücke" and other historic bridges.
 
Lucerne is located in the heart of Western Europe. You may combine your conference participation with business visits or private travel before and after the event.
